Summary
- Robert Irwin became emotional discussing grief with Anderson Cooper.
- He feels closest to his father in nature, seeking guidance.
- His mother Terri is key to keeping Steve Irwin's memory alive.
In a recent, emotional interview with Anderson Cooper on his podcast "All There Is," Robert Irwin, 21, opened up about processing the grief following his father Steve Irwin's passing.
Robert admitted to becoming visibly upset when asked if he still communicated with his late father. He shared that he feels closest to Steve when he is alone in nature, describing a sense of warmth surrounding him.
During these solitary moments, Robert revealed he asks his father for guidance on how to move forward. He finds catharsis in nature, allowing his emotions to surface, which he feels is a way of letting his father in.
Despite the constant reminders of Steve Irwin, Robert acknowledged the profound emptiness left by his absence. He finds comfort in places like Australia Zoo, which his father built, feeling his presence but also the deep void.
Robert confessed his greatest fear is forgetting how his father felt. He credits his mother, Terri, as being instrumental in keeping Steve's memory vivid and clear in his life.
This interview echoes past emotional discussions, such as one from June of the previous year, where Robert was moved by a clip of Steve expressing pride in his children. Robert continues to view his father as a superhero to many.
